It’s a comprehensive, plain-English guide that can help you to understand the options and take control of your retirement.

For example, many people have an old 401(k) or 403(b) with a previous employer that’s just been sitting there for ages, or an IRA that been left neglected and stagnant for several years. You might even have a few retirement accounts scattered around at different custodians/places with no clear sense of control over any of them!

Don’t worry: these situations are completely normal. In this day and age, it seems that job change is the norm and new retirement accounts can be opened with each employer, it’s easy to feel disorganized and without a solid plan for your retirement investments. You might end up stressed, confused, or just overwhelmed.

I’ve written this free eBook for anyone who is looking for guidance on how to take control of their retirement savings and their financial future. With information on everything from how to start your IRA rollover process to learning about diversification, “10 Tips You Need to know about your IRA Rollover,” covers both the practical aspects of managing your retirement accounts and the psychological ones. After all, no plan is complete if it can’t be implemented.

We’ll go over the basics of where to set up a rollover and how to avoid being hit with penalties and taxes. I’ll give you information on the often-overlooked subject of naming your beneficiaries and strategizing for your company stock holdings. We’ll even talk about the decision to set up a Roth IRA and how to start planning and thinking about your investments.

We’ll also discuss ways to help you get past procrastination, how to take the first step towards gaining control of your retirement accounts, and how to choose the right custodian for your funds.

The more you know about the important issues that affect your finances, the better off you’ll be. Even if you’re already working with an advisor, this eBook will help you to identify issues that you should ask about and discuss.

As I always say to my clients, knowledge is power!
